From the title of the episode on, this is a cleverly written and well acted episode of Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. The mystery itself was intriguing and I liked how the writers revealed the "how" of the theft early in the show, but made the "who" a genuine mystery with an abundance of red herrings to sort through.
I also liked how many of the Real Murder Club members were actively and excitedly involved in searching out clues--even as it no doubt gave police chief Lynn Liggett Smith more grey hairs!
Lynn Liggett Smith (Miranda Frigon) is only one of several recurring characters that help make this probably the best mystery show of all of Hallmark's productions, that I have watched so far. Her icy stare would believably give anyone the jitters.
Sally Allison (Lexa Doig) is another stand-out character in every episode she is in. Lexa has plenty of moments of "expressions" in this episode. For instance, when Aurora and Sally keep secretly invading Eric Hanson's office (someone Sally might actually like to date). Not to mention the emotion Sally "expresses" when she is captured and bound by the killer!
Finally, I liked the way the writers framed the action at the end of the episode. Aurora and Nick work as partners to literally "bring down" the killer. And the capper, of course, is watching Nick propose to Aurora.
Nick: I think you know what I'm going to say.
Aurora: And I think you know what I'm going to say too!
